Imaginary Voyage is a studio album by French jazz fusion artist Jean-Luc Ponty. It features guitarist Daryl Stuermer and bassist Tom Fowler (both of whom had played on Ponty’s previous album), along with keyboardist Allan Zavod and drummer Mark Craney. It was released in 1976 on Atlantic Records.
"New Country" was released as a single from the album, with Record World believing that the "brisk sound of the melody" could result in chart success.
